Just got back from BMW Kohl in Aachen Germany where I ordered an LCI idrive controller...I enquired about the rear LCI led taillights, (read: buy and install them ! ) > the service manager gave BMW Munich a call and eventually found out that there will be a retrofit package available from JULY/AUGUST 2007 !!

The guy could only speculate on the price...quote "should be under 500 euros"...
who's getting them ?

I'm in !
I wonder why they should make a retrofit kit? Is it possible just to get LCI spare parts and replace our old lights?

Thanks for the great news
What do you buy LCI idriver controller for? Just curious.
I think it looks good Fred, basically inspired from THIS post.

Today I received an email from Hella UK the manufacturer of the lights for BMW. They said, '...there is nothing in the pipeline...' for a retro fit kit. So we will have to wait and see...
